When you have a minor injury such as a small paper cut or a sprain, you expect to have pain. Your nervous system will send pain signals to the affected area until the injury heals. Once the damage has been repaired, it should stop sending pain signals. It should simply ‘forget’ that there was an injury there and you should be able to use the affected area. One of the scariest things about RSD is that it can occur even if the patient didn’t suffer an injury. Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), also known as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy is a neurological disorder that can affect any area of the body. It can strike anyone at any age and although research continues, there is no cure. This condition can not go left untreated because it can get to the point where the muscles and tissues atrophy and amputation may be necessary. The earlier that CRPS is diagnosed, the better the outcome. The following are symptoms that may indicate this nervous system disorder.
